Document background
The Formal Notice To End Tenancy is a critical document in the UAE's property rental ecosystem, used to initiate the legal process of terminating a lease agreement. It must be prepared and served in accordance with UAE Federal Law and specific emirate-level regulations, such as Dubai's Law No. 26 of 2007 or Abu Dhabi's Law No. 20 of 2006. The document is required whenever either a landlord or tenant wishes to terminate a tenancy agreement, whether at the end of the contracted term or under specific circumstances permitted by law. It must include precise details about the property, parties involved, and termination dates, while adhering to mandatory notice periods (typically 12 months for non-renewal in Dubai, unless otherwise agreed). The notice must be properly served and documented to be legally effective, often requiring registration with relevant authorities such as RERA in Dubai.
